KNIGHTS IN WHITE

by GT
(grand rapids, michigan)

In fields draped of green stand knights in white, their armor faded to mark their time As gentle breezes whisper names, of those whose armor Stand so proud Not for glory, nor for fame We who are privileged to walk their grounds Stand in awe of battles won With hats removed and tears held back We silently salute, those victorious sons

Those warriors dressed in white stone case King Arthur, himself would commend Leaving family, youth To answer call With arms stretched outward from their sides Staking this ground as their freedom's claim Placed within their armor stone Each and every bold knight's name

Those rows and rows of brazen kin The ones who died in battles fight Our gratitude bestowed to them In the hallowed fields of knights in white
